Personal Home Page, more commonly known as PHP, is an interpreted Object Orientated Programming language.
= Background =
PHP is a programming language made by Rasmus Lerdorf, back in 1994. The original aim of PHP was to be a web development language, but can act as a general purpose language. It's native functions are based around web development, but it's still a very powerful general purpose language.
= Installation =
For this, we're going to assume you're on windows or osx. If you're on Nix, you probably already know how to install a web server. So to install PHP, we will need a web server, and a few plugins. We could do this manually, but I'm lazy, so we are just going to use [[XAMPP]]. To download, [https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html click here]. Be sure to download the latest version.
After installing, you need to open it. After opening, you should be set for the tutorial.
= Introduction =
In this introduction, we're going to; make our own [[Hello World]] program; learn simple terminology; cover the basics of the syntax.
== Hello World! ==
Ok, so the following bit of code is going to print Hello World to our browser in raw text,
<code>
echo "Hello World";
</code>
Now let's do it with HTML,
<code>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Title Here!</title>
</head>
<body>
<?= "Hello World"; ?>
</body>
</html>
</code>
== Syntax ==
Now we have done a simple [[Hello World]] program, we can get onto syntax! YAY!
